Book Information: Shadows of War

Brick Maxwell lost a good friend when squadron mate Raz Rasmussen was shot down in the first Gulf War. Though Raz's body was never recovered, he was declared KIA and soon forgotten. Years later, when Raz's now-remarried wife receives a call claiming he is alive, she frantically asks Maxwell to investigate.
